Academic Prep

As a new student entering graduate school, the faculty encourages you to assess your basic knowledge of excel and writing. We strongly recommend that those with little or no background in these areas prepare by completing an introductory online course and/or tutorial. Faculty members assume that all students entering the program will have some basic knowledge of these skills.

Course Pre-Work

In the summer prior to the start of classes, you will be enrolled in Summer Pre-work courses on the Canvas site. This pre-work will consist of several modules set up on Canvas to help you refresh your Excel and Writing skills and/or advance your skills to better prepare you for the program.We strongly encourage you to complete all modules prior to the start of class. Please look out for an email from your program manager with details on the pre-work.
